You were only working from the pretense that I was talking about "ALL" children. As I said repeatedly, I was only commenting on the misdiagnosed ones.

I am finding it difficult to believe that you have not seen the children I am referring to. You have not seen some near catatonic children, and wonder why?

Could it be the chemical baby sitting that I fear?

Seriously Morph, the case is not as clear cut as you want to believe it to be. If a child truly has ADHD, then it most definitely needs its medication. THATS A GIVEN. If the child however doesn't respond according to plan, in this case "Acting Normal" then clearly it is either on the wrong meds, or is clearly NOT an ADHD patient.

Both of my nephews sit and are stoned. I know that you know what Stoned means. They sit and do nothing more than SIT....

Even allowing for text and its inability to convey clearly, how did you derive my saying that you were ADHD?

Its a clear cut question, one that I am finding difficult to believe but its clear that you have either not seen children misdiagnosed, or you are assuming that their life "as you are seeing them" is normal.

Its most likely because the patient you are witnessing is one that you had never seen before their advent onto the drugs.

It seem clear to me that this is the only possible answer because I feel that you would not deliberately oppose me on so clear cut of human decency.

I would NEVER wish a young child to needlessly take these drugs but, perhaps someday you will find a child before they are diagnosed ADHD and then notice their supposed "better" lives afterward. The ones who are misdiagnosed live cruel and boring existences. My nephews are, no longer normal. Normal for them was happy, highly energized lives. Now they are either stoned, or mean. And when I say mean, I mean physically violent. They "like" hurting others now.
